Portland TCG Con — The Ultimate TCG Weekend takes over a Portland-area convention hall on Saturday, May 30, 2026 for a TCG-first Memorial Day Weekend hobby event built around Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Lorcana, and the full slate of competitive trading card games. Listed on tcgshowsnearme.com as a 200-plus vendor table show, this dedicated TCG con pulls Pokémon kids, Magic Commander pods, Yu-Gi-Oh! duelists, One Piece grinders, and Lorcana families from across Oregon, Vancouver and Camas in southwestern Washington, the Willamette Valley (Salem, Eugene, Corvallis), and the Boise metro. Memorial Day Weekend timing puts the show right at the front edge of summer hobby season — Pokémon Scarlet & Violet end-of-cycle product is moving on the secondary market, the next One Piece TCG OP-set drop is imminent, and Magic: The Gathering's Lorwyn Eclipsed Standard format is in full swing.
The vendor floor is heavily TCG-weighted but covers the full pop-collectible spectrum. Pokémon dealers stock singles and sealed from vintage WOTC Base, Jungle, Fossil, and Team Rocket through Neo, e-Reader, EX, Diamond & Pearl, HeartGold & SoulSilver, Black & White, XY, Sun & Moon, Sword & Shield, and modern Scarlet & Violet. Japanese-exclusive sealed booster boxes, Elite Trainer Boxes, Premium Collections, Build & Battle kits, and Pokémon Center exclusive merchandise are consistently in stock. Magic: The Gathering tables stock Commander staples, Standard meta cards, Modern and Pioneer staples, Reserved-List vintage, sealed Collector Boosters, and freshly-released Lorwyn Eclipsed product. Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece TCG, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, Digimon, Star Wars Unlimited, and Flesh and Blood vendors round out the TCG floor. PSA, BGS, CGC, and Ace Grading slabs cover everything from $5 commons to grail-level First Edition Base Charizards and Trophy Pikachus. A scaled-down sports card section, Funko Pop dealers, vintage comic vendors, and TCG-branded plush and accessory sellers fill out the floor.
Doors open at 10:00 AM PDT and run through 7:00 PM PDT — a nine-hour Saturday window that gives you time to work the entire room, jump into a side-event tournament, and still grab dinner downtown. General admission is $15 at the door, VIP early-entry runs $25 with first-hour priority access, and kids 12 and under are admitted free with a paying adult — making this one of the most family-friendly dedicated TCG cons in the Pacific Northwest. Casual side-event Pokémon battles, Magic Commander pods, Yu-Gi-Oh! duels, and One Piece TCG mini-tournaments run continuously in the dedicated play space — check the event's tcgshowsnearme.com page or the show's social channels for confirmed tournament times and entry fees.
The convention hall is climate-controlled — critical comfort for a warm Memorial Day Weekend Saturday — ADA-accessible, and laid out with very wide tournament-friendly aisles. Free or discounted parking is available on the on-site lot, and the surrounding corridor offers plenty of food and coffee options.
This show fits every TCG collector and player — first-timers, families, kids walking in for the first time, casual binder collectors, competitive Standard, Expanded, Modern, and Commander tournament players, modern Scarlet & Violet flippers, vintage WOTC slab hunters, Japanese-exclusive specialists, and grail-level investors. For the best experience, buy the VIP early-entry ticket online in advance, arrive at 10:00 AM sharp, bring cash plus Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal backups, carry a want list sorted by set and card number, and pack penny sleeves, top loaders, deck boxes, and a hard-sided slab case.
